212 Sexy Men is a soft and sexy scent. The light citrus in the opening doesn't last longer than a few minutes, then it's a sensual Peppery-Cardamom spice with Florals after that. Some woods start to come through in the dry down, mostly Gaiac Wood and Sandalwood with a light Vanilla note for sweetness. After about 2 hours I can detect a very light Musk for the remainder of it's fairly short life. To me, the Musk is not as strong as it is in the regular version of 212 Men, and I don't smell any Amber in 212 Sexy Men.

The sillage is average for half an hour, then it moves in close, really close, which is exactly what I want an intimate/romantic scent to do. Someone needs to move in closer to get a good whiff. Close for about 4 hours total, after that the nose needs to be pressed up firmly against the skin. Mmmmm...

Which herbert in the marketing department thought it would be anything but uber-naff to have a bottle with "Sexy men" emblazoned all over it in plain view?

Surely you would have to hide the bottle AND all the packaging? Which … Surely you would have to hide the bottle AND all the packaging? Which herbert in the marketing department thought it would be anything but uber-naff to have a bottle with "Sexy men" emblazoned all over it in plain view?

Women's version is called 212 Sexy and presumably the word Men was added to the male version to differentiate it? Perhaps they should have added the word 'for' in between (212 Sexy for Men)?
